Managing 101
Posted by: partyvancaptain on May 17, 2009 at 7:51 pmThe Cubs winning streak ended today as Rich Harden was not his sharp self. I get the feeling he does not like pitching at Wrigley field. Maybe we can do a platoon like Milwaukee attempted last year, with Harden pitching on the road and Ryan Dempster pitching at home. We can call it the Canadian Concoction, and it will be the most dominant platoon in baseball.
Nice to see Derrek Lee hit a home run though.
The title has to do with the event in Tampa Bay though. Joe Maddon had a major brain fart and listed two third basemen on his lineup card, while meaning to put Evan Longoria in the DH spot. Because of that error, Tampa lost the DH and had to bat their starting pitcher THIRD. THIRD!!! Now while I would call it the right way to play, for arguements sake we will just say Tampa had to play National League style baseball, a major handicap as Cleveland got to use their DH. Well, good work Cleveland, as they gave up an RBI double to the starting pitcher, Andy Sonnanstine, and they lost the game despite the major advantage. That would have this blog livid, if we were a Cleveland Indians blog.
Anyways, just thought I would post that due to the sheer humor of the situation.
